I agree. I don't have time to log into all the different message boards. Mailing list is the best way for me. I can check my emails very quickly by just looking at the Subject lines, skimming and deleting. Please don't change a thing Millennia. Also, can we please stop the gripping on this list. My students don't whine this much at final exam time.

I can receive posts from all lists at once and filter them as desired. It would be a total waste of valuable time if I had to physically log into 15 different forums to view any new information. Don't forget, you cannot subscribe to a topic that you don't know exists. By the way I also subscribe to about 10 forums/message boards. I will take a mailing list over a forum any day. Just MY opinion.
